Chapter 722
Episode 181. Mary’s Dream (1)
Tikan Palace, Garden Terrace.
“Brother. Since when did we become friends?”
Mary said, stirring the flower pot in front of her. The ice that touched the spoon rattled and made a pleasant sound.
“Why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden?”
Difus took out a pack of cigarettes from his bosom.
“I just suddenly became curious, but I can’t remember.”
When I put my finger in, the cigarette pack was empty.
“Ha, it’s all gone. I’m tired of going there. Do you have any cigarettes?”
“doesn’t exist. Will you pay more attention to my questions than that?”
“Well, maybe we became close friends naturally someday.”
“No, such an insincere answer cannot relieve this stuffy feeling. I haven’t slept for days because of this.”
“What else?”
“You know, I’m always like this when something starts to get on my nerves. All my nerves are focused on that until it is resolved. Did you see it once or twice?”
“Correct that personality, child. Sometimes you just have to let it go. Oh, Sir Hedo.”
Hedo passed the table where the two were sitting and handed Difus a cigarette.
“I’ll pay you back in two next time.”
“Of course, I’ll give you the finest from Mila.”
Difus, who smoked happily, rummaged through his pockets and sighed again.
There was no fire.
Cheek-!
“You can always find Jet at the entrance whenever you are in trouble, Sir Difus.”
But this time a passing Jet quickly put a match to Dipus’ mouth.
“Jet, that is very appropriate. I’ve felt it while living here, you’re always such an appropriate person.”
“It’s not for nothing that our ruler recruited this Jet. Do you two need anything else? Can I get you some special cookies from Mr. Latri’s?”
“Go get a hammer or something. At least it was made by Picon-nim.”
“Oh, Sir Mary. ruin it? Why ruin… … ?”
“My older brother who keeps chewing on my questions, break your head.”
“Ha ha, have a good time. Then I’m done.”
Whoa… … !
Satisfaction appeared on Difus’s face as soon as he let out a puff of smoke. Mary, with her temper running, glared at Dipus fiercely.
“Oh, that’s true. got it, got it You can think about it.”
“Yeah, think about it now.”
“Let’s see. Here, Gili Nanny! wait for a sec.”
Difus called out to Gilly, who was about to pass by.
“Yes, Master Dipus. Please speak.”
“When the nanny first came to the family. Was I close with this guy?”
“hmm… … Well, I honestly don’t know. Apparently, I was at Storm Castle most of the time taking care of Master Jin.”
“I told you to think about it, did you ask Gilli’s nanny!?”
“But when the young boy and I started living in our parents’ home, the friendship between the two of them already seemed very deep.”
“Well, we were both jockeys back then, so it must have been the timing. Thanks for the answer. More than that, what about my image?”
“I keep getting better thanks to the care of all my colleagues. And Master Dipus, you can stop being sorry now.”
“Thank you for saying that… … . Then, don’t make the youngest guy angry by working for nothing, and you’d better go and rest.”
As Gilly nodded and went on his way, Mary crumpled her spoon.
“Hmm, hmm! I think we first became friends when you graduated from elementary school. At that time, I helped you choose a sword.”
“I chose very roughly. It’s been a long time since I remember that unlucky brother’s line. hey you write that It’s a chain sword, but its name is Venomous Snake. It’s a perfect fit for people like you who read all the time and have dirty eyes.”
“But how long did you use that roughly chosen weapon? Until it crashes in Riccarton.”
“Anyway, you are wrong. The reason I chose the poisonous snake at that time was to give my brother a blow. After defeating you one-on-one, I can beat you with the sword you carelessly picked out… … I just wanted to say this.”
“Unfortunately, I never heard that line. From then on, you always attacked me, but you never won.”
“Your brother was already a jockey at the time, so it would be embarrassing to say something obvious like that proudly. Instead, don’t you remember how I was careless and got cut by a poisonous snake and suffered for several days?”
“During the friendly duel event, I was attacked in the bathroom, right? Breaking all rules. The scar is still here. Anyway, you should thank me. If I had made that a problem, it would have been a real big deal. Oh, then I just kept my mouth shut so we became close!”
“no. After that day, my older brother looked at me like a bug for a while.”
“Mary, then you mean that it was a human being?”
“It was kind of like that. I lost after doing that.”
“I think the point is a bit off. Anyway, if not… … The day when Joshua prepared a dinner for the brothers, staring at him together and feeling a sense of identity. That day!”
“It’s true that I felt a sense of kinship that day, but that was all. It was the same during those long years when I felt the wall with Luna and her sister.”
“That’s the same story for all brothers.”
“I’m not the youngest.”
“The day I accidentally found and subdued you who said you were going to blow up the room of the firstborn after getting a bundle of magic shells from somewhere? The day I stopped you from waiting for your father to go to the bathroom, saying he would challenge him?”
“Ding. You found it by accident, right? I think they were watching me as a problem child. Come to think of it, there has never been a coincidence. It was all the result of my older brother spying on me.”
“Since it wasn’t once or twice that you did something crazy like that, I wonder if it was that day… … .”
Even after that, Dipus recounted countless past anecdotes with Mary.
No, I was talking about precious memories pleasantly.
It’s been a long time since I had such a leisurely afternoon. It was so pleasant and comfortable that Difus didn’t even notice that the cigarette he had barely taken a sip of had just been burned and stuck between his fingers.
Mary was laughing too. Sometimes, when Dippus brought up an overly embarrassing past, she breathed in her hwachae, but mostly she laughed and even shed tears.
“… … Kkeuk, haha, kkeuh. driving me crazy. Yes, it happened, evil! It’s a surprise!”
“he.”

“Jonah! How long have you been there?”
“Ever since Lord Hedo gave Difus brother a cigarette.”
“oh my god.”
“Hee hee, Mary sister and Difus brother are both so stupid. Why don’t you two know what I know?”
“Uh, you mean you know when we got close? Jonah.”
Jonah smiled shyly and pointed outside the terrace.
On the endless blue sea, Mary’s puberty and Cosmos’s fleet floated.
“ah… … !”
Merry and Deepus exclaimed at the same time as if they finally realized it.
“that’s right! That was the day. The day my brother named my boat!”
“Yes, it was around the time you left the family as a reserve jockey. But Jonah, how do you do that?”
Looking back, Jonah had already disappeared somewhere.
And after looking around for a while, the two remembered the same moment.
-If you become a reserve jockey, you will be the only one who will save the ship first.
-Since we’ve fought a lot on land, I’m going to try to take care of the sailors.
-If you get a boat, preference would be puberty. Please, get on that boat and go through this and that and come back as an adult.
-Yes, let it be you or an adult.
-If you still find it difficult to become an adult in the end, come back safely. Because I wonder if you can really survive with that damn personality after leaving the family. The fact that you survived without dying is entirely thanks to me.
-Ah, it looks like the proud Fourth Horseman wants to provoke me. Shall we make a bet then? I bet I will come back stronger than you. You walk on the side where I become an invoice. What will you give me if I win? By the way, I can’t give you anything if I lose. because he would be dead
Looking back, that was the day.
Although Mary reacted harshly to Dipus’ sincere concern, that day was the day when the bond between the two people, which had been built up knowingly and unknowingly, was conveyed directly to each other verbally.
“If you come back, I will protect you from then on. It means, as we have done so far, if you have an accident, we will look after you, and if you walk on your limbs without thinking, we will dry you up… … . That day, my older brother did that to me.”
“You made a sarcastic remark, saying that it seems like it has become my hobby to do things for you. Well, he showed off his cuteness for the first time by leaving a note telling him to keep his promise. I think it was the first and the last.”
“It could be because I was young, but why did my brother do that? Why did you even say such an unfamiliar thing to me who was so ungrateful?”
It’s not just words. In fact, Difus has always taken care of Mary more than himself.
And Mary, in fact, still did not know why. Why did Difus always take care of him from that time on?
“Is there any great reason? It’s just that I hated you at first, but it’s really fun to be with you. After you became a jockey, you became a bit more like a person. I feel very rewarded as an older brother.”
The reason didn’t even matter. The two giggled like children.
“Are you feeling better now, will you be able to sleep well starting today?”
Mary was about to nod at Dipus’s question, but was lost in thought for a moment.
“… … No, there is still one more question I want to ask you.”
The smile was erased from Mary’s face.
“Why did you do that? why… … Why did you betray me, my youngest son, my family, and the world and receive the power of the evil god… … ?”
Difus removed the burnt cigarette from between his fingers.
“Gilli says that her older brother doesn’t have to be more sorry, but other colleagues are like that too. My brother eventually came to his senses at the end. I still don’t get it. So tell me now Is there any reason why you couldn’t do that?”
“Mary, let’s go for a walk.”
“Don’t try to avoid answering again. I must listen today If I don’t hear an answer from my older brother, I will.”
“Follow me, let’s talk while walking.”
Suddenly, Difus got up from his seat and began to walk.
Merry looked blankly at Dipus’ back, got up from her seat, and followed him.
